Features

Everything PDF. One bento.

Every tool you reach for, arranged like a bento box. No add-ons, no web apps, no waiting.

Edit text like a document

Click into any paragraph and just type. Fonts, spacing and layout stay exactly as the author intended.

Hyper Compress

Shrink files dramatically while text stays sharp and searchable.

OCR that reads anything

Turn scans into searchable, selectable text in 48+ languages.

Organize pages

Reorder, rotate, insert and split with drag and drop.

Sign and certify

Draw a signature or apply a trusted digital certificate.

Annotate together

Highlight, underline, strike through and squiggle, plus notes and replies every other PDF app understands.

Redact for real

Sensitive text is removed from the file itself, not hidden behind a box.
